"Yahoo has said more than one billion user accounts may have been affected in a hacking attack dating back to 2013.

The internet giant said it appears separate from a breach disclosed in September, when Yahoo revealed some 500 million accounts were accessed in 2014."

Your data is safe. Believe it.

To lend and turn words from WOPR: "Digitality is a strange way of life. The only way to survive it is not to live this way."

Don't use Yahoo (least I think I don't) but I do shop on the internet so I'm obviously at risk to hackers.

My principle being....ensure you have adequate insurance.

I have a Yahoo email for posting on Yahoo News but I stopped posting last year as they had a nasty habit of ripping down comments they did not like, that is too say within the rules they set down. Anyhow the mobile Phone number is not a smart phone and I changed my email address and password a couple of months ago.
